I was getting tired of the lack of bass and having to use a tape adapter to play music off my phone. I wanted a new double din head unit that supported MP3 playback through a USB thumb drive as I also got tired of burning audio CDs and generating waste as I got tired of the songs. I used a local installer and here is my setup:AmplifierSound Ordnance M75-4Dash SpeakersInfinity Reference REF-3022cfxFront Door SpeakersInfinity Reference REF-9623ixRear Door SpeakersRockford Fosgate Prime R1525X2HeadunitKenwood Excelon DDX393Mounting KitMETRA 99-8159S Lexus(R) RX Series 2004-2009 Double-DIN/ISO-DIN Installation KitSubwooferRockford Fosgate PS-8
All of the speakers were installed using the mounting kits supplied by Crutchfield and fit perfectly. The amplifier is in the pop up drawer on the left side of my trunk. The way it's mounted (vertically) leaves room in there for storage and it was easy for me to adjust the gain of my rear door speakers (DB sensitivity for the Rockford Fosgate speakers is not as high as the Infinity speakers) to be a little higher than my front speakers. My subwoofer is mounted behind the rear passenger seat on the 40 side of the 60/40 split. When the trunk is open, the dangling privacy curtain covers the sub so you can't even tell it's there. I turned the gain all the way down on my front speakers in the amplifier. On the head unit, I have loudness set to 2, bass boost on, sub level adjusted to max and the remote volume **** on my Rockford Fosgate sub **** set to max. In the front of the car, there is plenty of bass with the volume at a normal listening level (around 15). In the back seat, it's really loud so I'll definitely use the bass **** to turn things down for my passengers.

I used this thread as I ran into the A/C controls not working after turning on the car for the first time. I spent two days on these forums finding this thread. The second to last post by Antolope helped me on this page below (my reply is on the top of page 7 of the thread below).

Here are some pictures of my setup.
